CHRIS

"Chris I'm still waiting!" Fred called out from downstairs.

"Yeah, just a sec!" I called back, my jacket, breeches, chest protector, glove, sleeves, Épée and my mask, I grabbed them all and shove them in my sport bag, I threw it over my shoulder and raced out of my room.

I stop dead in my track when I saw the stairs, I feel dizzy and nervous all of a sudden, since I fell from the stairs three days ago  I'm so deadly scared of heights, my therapists said I was suffering from acrophobia. I'm currently going through some therapy, I don't think that will help but I loose nothing to try.

I slowly back off from the stairs, it looks high! My heart is pounding!

"Chris are you ready?" Fred popped out from behind me.

"Y-yeah, but Luca had some family problems, he won't be driving me today." I said.

"I'll drive you, but I can't pick you, I'll come back late, Father is away for a trip so I'm all alone, I'll asked Nathan or Jack to pick you." He said, I froze.

"N-no, I can take a, cab or uh, any other option!" I don't want my brothers close to me ever again! Since Fred found out about them, they haven't said a word to me, I love it that way, Fred said he'll have to tell father, I don't think is necessary but who cares?

"You can't Chris, I don't trust people out there! Bad things happen at night, I can't let you take a cab while we've got more than ten cars in this compound." He said.

"But you know Nathan! Like Nathaniel! No thank you, i-"

"I promise you everything will be fine they won't hit you." He put his arm on my shoulder as we walked to Nathan's room.

"I don't know," I shrugged "they don't like me."

"Hey don't be sad," Fred grab my cheeks making me look up at him, "I promise by tomorrow we'll find a solution, by the way father's plane is landing this night, I told him everything on the phone, I'm pretty sure he's find a solution, come on smile." He grinned.

I smile, "thanks for caring so much."

"Is my duty Christopher." He said as we walked in the hall, we finally came to hell, Fred practically dragged me inside, I keep avoiding any eye contact, it was just Jack and Nathan playing games as soon as the saw us the paused the game.

"Boys I want you guys to pick Christopher up after his fencing competition." The instance Fred said it they started groaning and complaining like they were asked to jump off a cliff.

"Sorry I can't, I'm driving Melinda today." Nathan said.

"I'm hanging out with friends." Jack blurted out.

"Stop your childish attitude, I'm not asking you to jump from a cliff, I'm just instructing you to pick your younger brother up after his competition not like you were going with him."

"Why?" Jack frowned.

"Yeah why? He has a driver." Nathan said.

"He's driver took a day off and discussion close! You have to decide between yourselves you're picking him up that's all, here is the address!" He said sternly before dropping a paper on the nightstand and off we went.

I sigh as I stare out the window.

"What is it?" Fred asked while driving.

"You shouldn't have asked them, I told you I could take a cab."

"Chris you don't understand! I can't let you take a cab! Is way too risky! Kidnapping, robbery, raping and more take place mainly at night, I can't and never will expose you to those! Just because two bratty teenagers are trying to act up!" He said through gritted teeth.

"Fine," I mumbled under my breath.

I love spending time with Fred but he is busy at times, just like today, I need his love to survive! I need him to forget! Everything seem fine these past days. But each time Fred is far, I feel the emptiness deep down, but I won't tell him, I don't want him to fuzz over nothing and Stephanie might feel bad after all she is his fiancée, he is suppose to spend time with her not me.

************

I wave Fred goodbye before walking it the building. I met my institutor Rick after changing.

"Hey Mr Rick," I put my mask under my arm.

"Chris! We were waiting for you, this competition is yours, I believe you can do it." He patted my shoulder.

"Thanks Sir."

The competition long started, I'm still leading.

Everyone cheered as I slash my opponent, he fell to the floor and one more point for me.

"Next is Christopher Jackson and Gabriel Huston!" It was announced.

I froze, GABRIEL? He is here? But what the hell is he doing here? Why does he pursue me all the time! Can't he live his life without interfering in MINE?!

I grab a bottle of water, almost taking it all in a gulp, when I feel a tap on the shoulder. I turn around to be met with the ugly face of Gabriel.

"Surprise! Are you not happy to see me?" He fake a pout, "never mind! Where are your brothers? I didn't find them in the crowd neither did I found any of your family members." He smirk while crossing his arms. "Oh sorry, they probably knew you would loose, and didn't wanna bear the shame! So they stayed back."

Okay I'll admit that hurt, I brush pass him.

"Tina came to support me! She is right there in the crowd." He pointed.

My gaze followed his instruction and I saw Tina, there she was with the Huston. I clenched my fist, help me! I want to kill Gabriel!
I sigh while unclenching my fist, I'll only succeed in getting expelled.

"Hey kiddo!" I heard her voice.

I turn around with a grin.

"Don't ask questions just be happy!" Deborah winked.

Jeez she'll always surprise me, I grabbed my épée running back to stage.

I put my mask on so did Gabriel, we started fighting, the clash of the metallic object was all I heard, I was so concentrated so determine to prove Gabriel he was wrong!

I won't lie, he is good but not as good as me! I poke him on the chest for the fifth time, he fell, the crowd stood up and cheer! I smile under the mask as I watch Tina cheered for me.

******

I was congratulated and hailed by my group, as for Gabriel, I don't know and I don't care either.

"Wow great fight!" Deborah patted my shoulder.

"Yeah I know, how did you know this place and about the competition?"

"Oh come on, I know everything! Do you want me to drop you?" She brush her hair.

"Hey babe! Let's be quick! The movie!" A boy in Nathan's jog out from the building to us, "oh you never told me you had a younger brother." He grinned at me, we both slap our foreheads.

"He is not my brother."

"She is not my sister, before you ask we're not related either."

"Oh, but never mind."

"So you've got a boyfriend." I teased and she blushed.

"Shut up," she rolled her eyes, "do you need the ride, I can cancel the movie."

Her Boyfriend sigh.

"I'm good my brothers will be picking me up."

"Okay bye." She left with her boyfriend, I smiled to myself.

I pulled out my phone and text Nathan.

Hey, I'm done with the competition. To Nathan

Come pick me up. To jack.

*********

Four hours! I've been waiting for four fucking hours! And no one yet, not even a reply! I've called them but the hung the phone.

"I need you guys! To pick me up is been four hours, and the street is dark!" I texted Nathan.

"Seriously am I gonna sleep here?" I texted Jack.

I sigh as the cold breeze hit my face and it started snowing.

"I'm cold! Nathan! Please!" I texted.

I sigh when they won't reply, I have only one option, take a cab or get help.

I started walking the street, totally ignorant of where this street ends or leads to.

God! Why do I have inhuman brothers?

Is been thirty minutes since I'm working and no cab yet! There are few people on the street and they don't look friendly.

I hug my self tight as I kept walking! Gosh I'm cold and scared! I've never walk on a street in my life! I'm always in a car, I don't know anything about street and the words of Fred keep echoing in my head.

Kidnapping, robbery, raping and many others.

I felt a knot in my stomach when a car stopped in front of me.

"Hey girl you want a ride?" A guy brought his head out from the car, it is dark so I can't see properly. "I'm alone, come on, don't be scared doll, we've covers." He said.

First he is calling me a girl I'm not a girl, I look like one but I'm not one! And this dude is lying, I can see another figure in the back seat.

I slowly back off, "muchas gracias." I ran off, next thing the door slam and someone was running after me.

Oh my God! My heart is pounding so fast! I'm shaking but running, is not easy running on the snow but I need to save my life! I ran as fast as I could, he lost me! He lost me.

I felt pain jolt through my body as the metallic car lid hit me, my head collided with the floor, all I see is blur and I can hear some muffle sound, I felt someone pick me then I blacked out.

To be continue...

Hold on tight! Sorry for another mischief but I promise everything will be fine! Keep your calm.

What is going on?
